You are inspiring a generation to get outside as you educate us on the fantastic locations in the US to explore and experience. I'll keep watching (and following) your videos if you keep making them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Don't forget to keep reminding us of the best way to support you in these experiences.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks Doug! The best way to support is to just watch, comment, and thumbs up! It helps us a ton!

[@jeannespiess7499]

Great video! We live about 100 miles south of Duluth, so were excited to hear you pick the North Shore in a few categories. We LOVE it 'up' there and your video reminds us not to take it for granted. We have really enjoyed watching your adventures this year. Keep up the good work!

I absolutely LOVED this video!!! So neat to hear your “tops”. I definitely have a lot of videos left to watch to see them all. Thank you for the great content. The bloopers brought a huge smile to my face. You two are so fun. I hope the next 2-3 weeks are refreshing. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

So happy you enjoyed it! It was our first time trying something like this! Have a wonderful holiday ❤️

[@mcnater]

That was awesome! So, so fun to recap the year. I totally feel like I've been right there with you the whole time and it was cool to see a little Minnesota representation! Adam, I couldn't agree more about the tacos!!! I've literally been raving about those for over a decade now and to know they brought you so much joy as well just brings a smile to my face. It's been awesome following your journey this full year and it's hard to believe 2022 is around the corner. I hope you have a super relaxing holidays and recharge and relax as much as possible. Cheers to an amazing year!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you for joining us for all of our adventures this year! We are so glad we got to make it to your neck of the woods, we loved it up in the Great Lakes! Happy holidays to you and the fam!

[@anydaynow7755]

It must have been so hard to pick your favs! You have truly shown what an amazingly gorgeous and diverse country we live in! I have enjoyed your journeys so much from this side of the screen. Oh, but I think I missed Kona's top picks....I bet she had some favorite hikes; I'm sure her least favorite was the one with the ladders (I think) where Adam had to carry her. Have a very merry Christmas, guys! Looking forward to all the 2022 adventures!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was tough! I spent weeks going back and forth haha! Kona says that her favorite was Mount Elbert, but definitely agree her least was the one with the ladders haha

[@bilahn1198]

So excited to see all the thumbs up for Minnesota! There may be more spectacular places but there's something about it, isn’t there? And there are so many other places to visit including the Boundary Waters. I've really enjoyed traveling with you two. Great job very well done! --Paul from Minneapolis

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Definitely something special about it! We really loved it there and will be back to canoe the BWCA Wilderness!

[@bilahn1198]

@@AdventuresofAplusK It's the smells! There is a unique mineral like fragrance to the rocks and streams I have not encountered anywhere else. Add in the pine and I am just truly at peace when I go up there.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for following along this year! ❤️

[@brunnie]

It has been a real pleasure watching your adventures this year. You've taken me to places that I haven't been to, and probably won't go to, and you've seen some of the things that I have seen (parts of Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado) so I can share your enthusiasm for them. Thank you so much, take a break and relax and regroup. Merry Christmas.... and until next time... Travel Safe.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for all of the support this year! We hope we can share some new places with you next year!

[@GISJohnMaine]

Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us. Thirty years ago, I took a year off and traveled across the country by myself. I have a map that I kept, showing all the roads I traveled and places I visited, just like the map you have at the beginning of the video. When you look at that map, you realize how many places in our country that you missed. This is an amazing place that we live in. I've been able to fill in a few more places on my map since then, but I still have a lot places to see. I've really enjoyed traveling about with you guys this year as it reminded me of my time on the road. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and we all look forward to seeing more adventures next year.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

There is SO much to see in the US, it's crazy! We are so glad we have this giant backyard to explore for the rest of our lives. What has been your favorite place you have been to?

[@GISJohnMaine]

@@AdventuresofAplusK That's a difficult question. I've got to break that into two parts. The first is from my adventure 30 years ago and I can't name just one, so how about three! I have two that occurred during the full fall foliage out west. The first time I saw the Grand Tetons on a cold crisp late September morning at sunrise along the Snake River, with all the color in the trees and the amazing snow capped Tetons in the background. The second one was the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. In all the pictures I had seen prior, it appeared to be a very dry place. I actually visited the North Rim first and I thought I was driving through a forest, just like here in New England. Then bam, the canyon appeared and it wasn't what I expected. Number 3 was when I camped on top of a mountain in the northeast corner of Olympic National Park. I was alone and had wild deer grazing within feet of my camp. I also sat high on a cliff and watched coyotes (it might have been wolves - too far away to tell) walking along a game trail below me and was glad I was high above them... Honorable mentions are: camping on a mountain in northern California watching the thunder storms roll by Mt Shasta to the south with the moon lighting up the whole seen. A second one was watching the sun set on the beach at La Push Washington. The color was amazing.. More recently, traveling through and around Glacier National Park with my wife on our 25th anniversary in 2019. So many more places and so many more places to see. Also, I loved the San Juan Mountains too. Thought to myself, this must be what the Swiss Alps looks like... Hope you make it back to Northern New England again some day.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We know the whole can't name one thing! All of those sound amazing! We would love to visit the Tetons in the fall sometime. And the Olympic Peninsula is one of our favorite places ever, as is Glacier National Park. We definitely want to make it back to New England. We want to venture up to Nova Scotia someday, so we can't wait to make it back up that way.

I absolutely love all of your videos! Many of the places you have been to, I have been to as well, but for those I have not been to, you have provided a lot of new ideas for future travels. As a recent retiree, my goal is to get to as many National Parks as possible (I have 33 under my belt) and Acadia is one of them I desperately want to see, so I really loved that video. Thank you for sharing your travels with the KZbin community and I wish you much success as you focus on A+K full time. Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much for watching! We hope you can make it to Acadia, it is such a gorgeous park!

I love stats and bloopers so this was a win. So glad you guys enjoyed New England so much, fun to see you visited most of the spots I love here. The only thing missing was some kind of crazy Walmart parking lot story :)

Lol! Thankfully we don't have any. Otherwise we would have no where to sleep lol!

[@Lady-Seawulf]

We’re so glad you guys enjoyed your time with us. It made Jen tear up that your time with us made it into one of your top experiences of 2021! We can’t wait to have you on board PIVOT again for another boat life adventure where we’ll be sure to enjoy more slow mornings drinking coffee together. Until then FaceTime calls will have to continue into 2022. We love you guys and hope you do do a yearly recap video like this every year because it was so much fun to watch. 🛥💙🚐

Looking forward to seeing what next year holds for you guys, Happy New Year!

[@vmcervan]

Thank you for sharing this “Best Of” video! I’ve been watching your videos religiously all year and the top place that you guys went to that made me want to go was definitely Colorado. I live in AZ and I’ve never been to Colorado before even though it’s technically not too far from me. So Telluride is at the top of my list! With New England as a close second 😉

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Woo! Solid choices! We loved both so much 😍😍

[@busdriver369]

Merry Christmas Adam + Kathryn and Kona. I gotta say that of all the KZbinrs that I have subscribed to you guys are part of my top two. Kara and Nate are right there with you, and that is pretty good company to be in. So many full timers focus on so much on RV or van tips, show way too much driving footage and/or talk too much about campsites and campgrounds. You are actually adventurers and seeing Kathryn expanding her comfort zone this year has been great to watch. My husband and I are 60ish and bought a used class A last year. We considered selling the home we built ourselves and going full time but have decided that is not for us, as we want a home base, at least for now. Like you, we love our National Parks and have visited many over the years. There are many more on my bucket list and we will be taking long trips as time allows and when retirement comes in a couple of years they will be more frequent. I am sure I will be revisiting your videos for tips on what to see and do as we set out on our own adventures. Who knows, maybe someday we will meet up along the trail. Stay safe and know we are all waiting, not too patiently, for next years adventures. P.S. Kathryn: Do not consider yourself a wimp for the pain and your reaction to it at Mammoth Cave. I have shared your experience with my son-in-law who had a severe hand injury that was full of debris a couple of years ago. He is 6' 6" and nobody's wimp. Upon hearing of your injury and what you went through he had the utmost sympathy for you. He was pretty impressed with how you handled it.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for following along! We are honored to be towards the top of your list! And we are glad you enjoy the exploring aspect of our videos. We try to make our videos more about the places than the van, so that even those who aren't in a van or RV can find them helpful! Big congrats on getting a RV...y'all will have SO many amazing adventures in it. It's really nice to have a home on wheels when traveling, it just makes it all much more comfortable! I appreciate his sympathy on the hand! I learned that palms are NOT a fun spot to get injured. Even 6 weeks later I still have some struggles with it. The debris only made it worse 😖😖. We look forward to many more adventures next year. It should be the BEST year yet!

[@m2c2treks]

We love watching two young people have fun in life. We are a more “mature” 😁 couple also still having fun in life and loving full time life on the road. Merry Christmas!

[@bryantlavalley203]

100% Agree that MN was a HUGE surprise for us as well. We loved Split Rock State Park, High Falls the town of Duluth was AWESOME. We found this cute little art store that was downtown that was amazing, the people were so nice. And I agree Its the closest thing that I have found to the shoreline of the PNW and the Oregon area by Brookings and Northern California. Can not wait so see the places you go next year, was also stoked to see the Wind River Range as a top pick as its one of our stops next year!

Adam, I can identify with your fry bread taco. We were traveling to Oregon from Mississippi and were on the beautiful highway from Bernidito (sp),New Mexico to Farmington, NM and there was nothing for more than 100 miles, but this very small town with a tiny little cafe. I had a taco that was made with fry bread and it was astounding. I was blown away and stopped there again on our way home. It was the best taco I have ever had, before or since.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Merry Christmas from Rochester NY (Near Niagara Falls) We love your channel with your genuine good nature and adventurous spirits. I travelled 10000 miles in 9 weeks with a friend from NYS to San Jose California and back through the southern states when I was 19 and realized what a great country we live it with all its beauty, I recently (October )purchased a 2019 Ram 3500 Diesel DRW/Nu Camp Cirrus 920 truck camper in Colorado and my 23 year old son and I drove it back 2200 miles and visited 10 states. I retire in 2 years from Law Enforcement and wondered how long your trip lasted? I have visited 41 states and 8 National Parks and will use your compass to visit many of the same areas that I have never visited in hopes of seeing all 63 National Parks, 50 states and enjoy the areas like you two have! Stay healthy, hungry and adventurous!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Merry Christmas Daniel! And congrats on the new camper! Your trip back alone sounds pretty epic and you’ll definitely have some awesome adventures in it to come. We have been on the road for 2+ years now, with no plans of stopping anytime soon!

Your favorite sleeping spot at Old Hwy 89 was the exact spot we stayed when we hit Zion and Bryce. We drug our travel trailer up that hill you were on and spent a week there. I think that’s probably the best spot at that camping area.

Hey you two! Hope you both had a great Christmas and enjoyed much needed time with family! My wife and I absolutely love your vlogs!

Cumberland Gap would've probably been in the running for best surprise in 2020! Thank you for watching!

[@no3ll3.]

I love your videos, what a year! Lake Superior and Wisconsin/Minnesota were my biggest surprises last year. I can't wait to go back this year.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are so glad that you found those areas to be awesome as well!

[@joybird30]

This was so great! I loved hearing the recap and your overall thoughts and top picks. I'm adding some things to my list for sure. I'm caught up to 2022! Haha at the end of 2022...

Hi! Thanks for your great videos. I have watched all the Utah & Nevada ones as we are going on a family road trip beginning of April 2nd. I have changed some hike trails, places to visit and when to visit them best during the day, based on your experiences. OMG the traffic in Zion. How wonderful that you got to avoid the crowds visiting less "popular", unknown alternatives. They were equally beautiful spots. Fantastic info, much appreciated! Love the coffee and food reviews so much. Definitely going to try some out when in Kanab Utah. We start our journey in San Francisco going to Yosemite National Park all the way to Bryce and Zion. Alaska is on our must do list as well, so we will surely follow in your footsteps in a few years. Wish we could also take our dog too, Kona is so cute. But our Aiko would not feel happy on a 13 our flight all the way from Belgium. Good luck to you, safe travels and have fun. Greetings from the Timmerman clan.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you for watching! We hope you have a great trip to the National Parks. Yes, Zion can be extremely busy, but it is well worth it. And you will love San Francisco and Yosemite! That is a pretty epic trip! We are excited to create some very helpful video and written content for Alaska this year so stay tuned!

[@net69flix]

I am so jealous if I could go back in time I would do what you guys are doing now, thanks for sharing your videos and experiences

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are so thankful that we took this big leap a few years ago! Thank you for following along!

[@jillrouleau6364]

So glad you loved Vermont/Burlington! I grew up here and there so many hidden and not so hidden gems here :)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh ya it’s an amazing place! Vermont was one of our favorite stops in New England! Can’t wait to come back and explore more!

[@janesikkink2155]

You two are so fun to watch. Being from Minnesota, nice to see you picked some favorites from my state. Mt. Elbert is also one of my favorite hikes! Keep up the adventurous videos!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We loved your state! Thanks so much for watching Jane!

[@redcreekfarm4305]

So glad A&K is full time now! Congratulations 🎉

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! Self employment can be tough, but we are so happy we are able to do it!

[@drummin91]

Love the channel! It reminds me so much of my wife and I's trips. We found ourselves this past year in Wyoming, South Dekota, North Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, and Colorado. Fun to relive some of the adventure through your videos. Keep up the good work! Our goal this next year is to visit the Sawtooth Mountains!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for watching! We ❤️the Sawtooths!

[@joycemoses2411]

It is difficult to pick a favorite video of yours....all of them are so AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! (The bloopers were so cute!) Kathryn, you look like you feel better from your fall...yay! Merry Christmas!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I am thankfully doing much better! And finally bandaid free!

[@lindseymason6586]

I went to Ouray and Telluride when I went to CO this summer because of your videos! Glad you enjoyed Minnesota!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yay! That makes us so happy!

[@emmie_enroute]

Great year end video! Bloopers were a plus.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you Emmie! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nemmie_xoxo]

FLY HIGH DULUTH! 😉 So glad to see Duluth on a list because that's where we're moving soon (refuge city, baby). I took so many notes from this video, so excited to try so many of these places! Happy holidays and can't wait to see where 2022 takes you, guys ❤

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Big congrats on your move! We really enjoyed Duluth, even on a foggy day!

[@steveeckart6333]

Great Recap of a Great Year! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Keep doing the things YOU enjoy and we will enjoy watching.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Absolutely! We're all about only doing things that make us happy 😃

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

What a year! Hope your injury heals fast. We unfortunately know the feeling. Never been to San Juan, so sounds like we need to add it to our long list lol. Kudos to Acadia. Small but amaaaaazing park. Can’t say great enough things about it. On a side note, we’re happy to see you taking off the rest of the year. Everyone thinks you need to keep pumping out videos, but this is holiday time. Friends, family, breaks, anything. Have a happy holiday and can’t wait to see what you do next year.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Absolutely! We have hardly filmed in the 5 weeks we have been home, which has been really nice as well! Trying to put ourselves first for once haha, it's harder than it sounds!

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

@@AdventuresofAplusK good to hear. I know it’s your livelihood but it’s nice to enjoy yourselves too without the need to film everything.

[@RichardinNC1]

What an incredible year for you two. Hopefully I can do that much travel when retired.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We hope you can too!

[@sierraseb3311]

WaHoo! Just finished watching ALL YOUR VIDEOS!🎉🎈 What a great job you do; from entertaining interesting content, to research, to cinematography, to music. Can't wait to see what you have planned for 2023. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.😍

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Woohoo! Thank you so much!

[@loeyminske3459]

Awwww!! What a great ending to an incredible year for you both! You really covered some ground! Can't wait for you to let us know what's in store for next year. Have a wonderful time with your families, rest and recoup and we'll see you in the new year!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We can't wait to share! Thanks for all of the support Loey. We hope you have a great holiday!

[@joemorin6247]

Great video. Have enjoyed your 2021 travels and am looking forward to 2022. Thanks Kathryn, Adam and Kona. CYA next year!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Happy holidays Joe! 2022 is going to be awesome!

[@KodyK2024]

Alaska 🎉! Very exciting. Cant wait to watch you head to Alaska and experience the largest US state.

[@ahhitskatie9094]

Grabbing some snacks. Can’t wait to watch your top faves! Love your van decor, cute! Kathryn, hope you’re healing up quick!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! We had fun decorating it!

[@dansouth2088]

You people are awesome! Thanks for sharing your journeys with all of us!! Best to you in 2022!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Jhawkkat]

I loved the San Juan mountains also. They almost pass my love of the Tetons but not quite. I love the blooper part with your air guitar (tripod)😁. Hope you have a great vacation. Happy holidays and will be looking for your new vlogs in January.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The tripod guitar is our favorite 😂 Happy holidays!

[@jrlong3490]

Thanks for sharing this update. Lots of great adventures and memorable p!aces these last 9 months. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Happy holidays! Thank you for following along this year!

[@scottlehman2144]

You 2 do a great job and give us the info we like. Im glad to see that Durango is high on your list. Its one of our favorites and the railroad is amazing. If you ever in Phoenix give us a shout.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We love Durango! Such a great town!

[@MikAdventures]

Love this recap. And love your guides. Your South Dakota guide for Badlands + Black Hills added so much to our travels there this year and I’ve passed it along to friends a number of times too. I’d love to see a guide detailing your fall foliage northeast itinerary (or a suggested itinerary). Happy holidays!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are finally getting caught up on guides and just have New England ones left, so stay tuned! We are glad that you enjoy them, we really love writing them! Thanks a bunch for sharing them too ❤️

[@CupcakeandCornbread]

We absolutely love watching your videos! We took our own trip out west earlier this year with our cargo trailer conversion and after watching this video I realized we were neighbors when you stayed at Old Hwy 89 Dispersed Camping near Kanab/Mt. Carmel, Utah! That's our black truck and white cargo trailer right below your van - that's crazy! We stayed there a week as a base for Zion and Bryce Canyon and can't wait to get back out there! Capitol Reef is our favorite National Park in Utah, too - loved the cinnamon roll at Gifford House! Watching your channel was a big inspiration for us to start our own channel - we definitely have a ways to go to get the quality of yours, but we're loving it! Enjoy your time in Texas and have a Merry Christmas!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

No way! How crazy is that?! 😱 That was a really nice spot, we loved working from there for a week or so! Congrats on starting your channel as well 🥳

[@MrsMajorHoff]

What a year and what a recap! Looks like you are feeling better too! Have a wonderful holiday season, can't wait to see what 2022 brings!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We hope you have a great holiday too!

[@jamessheets7267]

Enjoyed watching every trip this year and looking forward to 2022

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you for watching James!

[@kaitlandoherty8191]

I found you guys when my boyfriend and I went to Acadia this fall and ended up binging so many of your videos!!! We love your energy and how you inspire us to travel and explore! Happy new year! -Aaron and Kate :)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you both so much for watching! We hope y’all enjoyed Acadia as much as we did 😃

[@robaaront7134]

You two are great. Looking forward to what you will do in 2022.

[@Dakine_OAG]

That was one AWESOME recap!!! You folks totally changed my mind about New England. Can't wait to see your 2022 plans! This is by far my favorite YT channel!! Your vlogging style is so entertaining. Have a blessed end to 2021 & an even more epic 2022!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for the kind words! New England is a really gorgeous place 😍😍

[@lauracarrano8957]

I loved all your episodes. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for watching them! ❤️

[@richardparrott7192]

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year; thank you for your A+K Adventures!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you for following along Richard!

[@jasongerber6972]

This is a good list! I think it would be cool if maybe on the website you posted like a full top 10 (all time not just this year) of some of these categories. Obviously that’s super hard I just think it would be cool to see

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That would be so hard! Hahah but that’s a good problem to have I guess!

[@Carolann_237]

I really enjoyed your journeys this year. Looking at the map and the numbers, really puts it into perspective! Have a great break.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was really fun to look back at it all!

[@debrabalawajder2617]

This was a wonderful video! A great video to end the year with!! I’ve got to watch the videos that I missed! ❤️. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you for watching Debra! Have a wonderful holiday!

[@paulcaster2129]

Thank you you're videos are great I retire after next year and you have given me great ideas for me to visit

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Woo! Congrats on almost retiring!

[@juliep8741]

Love this style video! Loved to hear your tops. Gave me so many travel ideas for next year!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Gotta give my dad all of the credit for the idea! It was fun to relive it all!
